About this area's water

Did you know
  • The name Middleport refers to the town's spot on the Ohio River roughly halfway between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati; the site went by Sheffield, Coalport and Salisbury before that.
  • The village keeps a standing back-up water connection to neighboring Pomeroy - and reported in its 2024 CCR that it never had to open it that year.
  • Middleport's 2024 gross alpha result, 15.8 pCi/L, came in numerically above the 15 pCi/L MCL, yet the CCR's Violations column for that row reads 'No.'
  • The village still runs combined sewers, so heavy rain sends untreated stormwater and sewage into the Ohio River - the problem a 2025 Appalachian Regional Commission grant on Third Street is meant to chip away at.
  • Middleport publishes essentially nothing about what water costs: no rate ordinance, no schedule, just a link to a third-party payment portal.

History5
  • 1798Village history dates the original Leading Creek Settlement to 1798, settled by New Englanders and Revolutionary War veterans arriving by flatboat from Marietta, followed by German immigrants.
  • 1820sThe village itself was laid out during the 1820s. It carried three earlier names - Sheffield, Coalport and Salisbury - and absorbed nearby settlements including Vinton and Tarker's Landing.
  • 1920Population peaks at 3,772, then declines through the century to 2,530 in 2010 and 2,208 in 2020.
  • 2024Village operated its three-well groundwater system (Wells #4, #7, #8, all in use) with no violations in any category of the CCR table and a current unconditional License to Operate.
  • 2025Environmental assessment for the ARC-funded Third Street Sanitary Sewer Improvements signed Aug. 12, 2025 with a Finding of No Significant Impact; combined FONSI / notice of intent to request release…

Sewers

Sanitary

The 2025 federal environmental assessment for the ARC-funded Third Street project states plainly that 'Middleport has combined sewer and storm collections systems, which causes the combined sewers to often exceed their capacity, especially during heavy rain events. This results in discharges of…

Storm

Not separate. Per the same 2025 environmental assessment, storm collection is combined with the sanitary system, and the combined sewers overflow to the Ohio River in heavy rain. No standalone stormwater utility or fee is published.

Mostly estimated. Only 6% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 45620 (Cheshire Township and Cheshire) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

49,831 days of records, 1890-01-01 to 2026-10-29. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
